XRP fell to $1.02, its lowest level since February, as traders reduced leveraged exposure and realized losses, according to CryptoSlate and CryptoQuant data. The decline follows a broader sell‑off in cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin slipping to around $58,100 and Ethereum falling toward $1,550, pulling the total market value below $2 trillion. CryptoQuant data show $9 million in long liquidations on Wednesday, the largest daily loss for leveraged bullish traders since February 5, with about half occurring on Binance. Open interest on Binance fell to $205 million, its lowest since March 22, while Bybit’s XRP open interest dropped to $185 million. Total open interest across tracked exchanges declined to $2.34 billion, and futures turnover fell to $2.84 billion, a drop of more than 90% from the comparable period in 2025. Glassnode data indicate XRP’s 90‑day realized profit‑to‑loss ratio fell to 0.33, the weakest reading since August 2022, reflecting that investors are realizing roughly one unit of profit for every three units of loss. CryptoQuant’s risk‑adjusted Sharpe ratio for XRP on Binance was minus 0.29, indicating a loss after accounting for volatility. The near‑neutral Binance XRP perpetual‑to‑spot volume imbalance of 0.51 and a 30‑day Z‑score of about 0.17 suggest that derivatives positioning is not unusually stretched. The contraction in derivatives activity may reduce the risk of forced liquidations, but weak spot demand and continued price pressure keep the outlook uncertain.
